Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its unique strained bicyclic structure with fluorine substitution enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in drug design. Commonly employed in the development of enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators where fluorinated scaffolds improve binding affinity and pharmacokinetic properties. Also utilized in agrochemical research for creating novel pesticides with improved environmental stability and potency.
